Je traduis un texte de l'Allemand vers le Français dans lequel l'expression"casual dining apparaît plusieurs fois.
On évoque la restauration qui ressemble à de la restauration rapide mais servie à table, type hamburger avec accompagnement, bars à salades, restaurants de grillades ....
Comment traduire "casual dining" dans ce cas?
Il me semble que restauration rapide est plutôt assimilée à fast-food (type mac'do)
Par ailleurs, je ne trouve pas de texte français avec le terme "casual dining"
Merci pour vous idées

en-cas / snacks
"snacks" est le terme employé en France. Je crois que le Canada préfère "en-cas".

La restauration légère a au moins le mérite d'exister sous ce terme. Merci Françoise !

dîner/repas informel
Suggestion

Tony M
: I suspect the problem here is that it is referring to a particular type of catering, and so this sort of solution might be difficult to work into Asker's text.

: "repas informel" a le sens de "rencontres informelles", c'est un "social event", comme "apéritif dînatoire", etc. Rien à voir avec la question.

: I can't help feeling that 'casual' has a different sense here from its 'décontracté' meaning — cf. 'casual workers'.

How about that, to cover the meaning of 'casual' as I interpret it here, and also, the kind of food described by Asker?

: Des références française peut-être ? "Décontracté" a trait à la mise, à la tenue et au comportement de la clientèle, et non à la cuisine elle-même.

restaurant/restauration de type brasserie
Une idée supplémentaire...
On trouve dans Wikipedia : "In France and the Francophone world, a brasserie is a type of French restaurant with a relaxed setting, which serves single dishes and other meals". Aussi, en français, "Il y est proposé une cuisine relativement simple".

Discussion
I'd say here we're looking more at something like a FR term using 'restauration'.
